Apple Mouse and Wireless Keyboard - Batteries
Discussion
I just have a set of rechargeables ready and swap them, the keyboard tends to last twice as long as the mouse, only takes a few seconds to swap them, better than wires!
Was looking at getting one of these someday

Keyboard seems to last but the mouse goes through them at a rate of knots. Bought re chargeable instead.
Edit. I wondered why I was going through them, found one answer on Apple forums where someone reckons one battery was discharged and one was full when it (mouse) maid the batteries were empty and thinks the battery tray is using one, not both. When these rechargeable go flat I shall be putting the meter on them.

I use one of these; http://store.apple.com/uk/product/H9776ZM/A/mobee-...
It was a bit expensive but no more rushing out to buy batteries when they go flat.
I use the same mouse and key board on 2 screens synced with 3 computers, 1 mac, 1 windows pc & 1 windows laptop.

I have heard that Duracell are particularly bad for Magic Mice, not sure why.
I work in an office with about 12 iMacs, all with Magic Mice, and the batteries generally last about six weeks. They're all Apple nuts so rather than simply replace them with a decent mouse, they have set up a rotation of rechargeable batteries.
I'm using a Logitech wireless mouse (the M510 which is probably the best mouse I've ever had) and I set up this counter on our intranet to wind them up.

Strange. Binned my M510 and now use a Magic Mouse! Found the Logitech really sluggish and unresponsive, plasticky and batteries lasted no time at all!I work in an office with about 12 iMacs, all with Magic Mice, and the batteries generally last about six weeks.

Sounds like it was broken to be honest. The official battery life is something ridiculous like 2 years.You wouldn't expect any mouse to be unresponsive these days unless there was a problem.
